Help! How to get cam back on the sheave?
Life has delivered me a learning opportunity. How do I put this cam back on the sheave? It's too far out and I know i need to push it back to line up but I just can't manage.
Do I need to take the whole assembly apart to do it? Or can I take the spring off the motor shaft and rebuild that way?

Duh. I pulled the lower sheaves apart by hand and she's all good. Sorry, everyone! False alarm

I'm sure there's spam coming.... There are at least 3 potential spammers posting today.
EDIT: I just looked at one of the others, posted at 4:30am, edited at 4:32. Very odd.
